COVER REVEAL STRIP TEASE
I've never done this before, but I had the pleasure of blurbing Sean Jacques debut novel DOE RUN coming from Shotgun Honey and now I get to show you a sexy little slice of the gorgeous cover by Ron Earl Phillips

Happy Pub Day, Eryk Pruitt! I love these books. I love Jess Keeler like she's a real person. Can't wait for the next one.

Happy Pub Day to Taylor Brown! One of the kindest people and best writers around. Can't wait to read this!

Happy one year to what’s still my favorite short story I’ve written! Reckon Review & Meagan Lucas really made me see the potential of this piece, as did Sheila Sundar. Put on the Boss song of the same name and give it a read if you haven’t already!

Did a fun interview with Sean O'Leary over on that other place. There's a pretty embarrassing typo. I meant to say 'tickled,' okay. 🤦🏻‍♀️

June 19 is JUNETEENTH & the date is open in my Reckon Review Wind & Root feature. I’d love to fill it with a craft column centering on Juneteenth. My email is open to submissions until 6/5. Submit to [email protected] w/JUNETEENTH in subject line. 🙌🏾 #writingcommunity

If you’re angry that women would rather encounter a bear than a strange man in the woods, you haven’t been listening to women and you’re probably part of the reason why so many choose the bear in that scenario.

It's probably actually the third draft since I start on paper and then dictate the second, but now the real fun begins.

For anyone not blooming in their life or creative process, a short mediation I wrote for Reckon Review on fallow periods, grief and loss, and the sweet, fleeting presence of lilacs

Thank you to Charlotte Hamrick⚜️🇺🇸⚜️ for guiding this column into the world & to Meagan Lucas for a lit home
